Question

The next four batters on a baseball team have hitting percentages of 0.400, 0.325, 0.250, and 0.300, respectively. The team currently has two outs. If any player gets an out, the next player or players will not get an opportunity to bat. What is the probability that the fourth player will have an opportunity to bat?

Answer 1

In order for the fourth to get to bat, the previous 3 must all get hits, so probability of the first hits * probability second hits * probability third hits
